...Terrorist Funding and Countermeasures
Karen
04/24/2013
One way that terrorist organizations fund their actions is through Fundraisers. These terrorist organizations solicit money from a range of donors. The main donors are based in the Gulf area, mainly Saudi Arabia, but other donors also exist outside the Muslim regions in countries across the world. Some of these donors have been fully aware of the final destination of their money; others were not. These funds also come from corrupt employees of charitable organizations, in particular during the holy month of Ramadan. Fundraisers have sometimes used legitimate charitable organizations; in other cases they have used front organizations and legitimate businesses to provide cover for their activity. Another way terrorist organizations fund their actions is through Charitable Organizations. Charities have certain characteristics that make some of them particularly susceptible to manipulation for the financing of terrorism. The terrorist organizations strategy has been to infiltrate employees in charities to divert money from the charities' legitimate humanitarian or social programs towards its own illicit activities. In a number of countries, these organizations function outside the scrutiny and supervision of state authorities. It has proven difficult to shut them down completely, even in cases where they have been investigated and accused of financing terrorism. A third and final way terrorist...

...Case No. 2: Pharmagen Pharmaceutical Development Funding
According to the Accounting Standards Codification, the funding arrangement between Pharmagen (Pharma) and the private equity investor (PEI) would be applicable under the Research and Development Arrangements standard (ASC 730-20). This standard provides guidance for entities that are entered into a research and development (R&amp;D) arrangement who acquire the results of research and development through the entire or partial funding by others (ASC 730-20-15-2). In this case, Pharma is receiving funding up to the amount of $500 million from PEI for R&amp;D costs of the $1 billion of R&amp;D costs Pharma estimates to incur for the development of their potential new drug X. This standard would be also relevant to Pharma’s case because the funds received from the PEI are restricted to R&amp;D costs associated with drug X. No other accounting standard would be appropriate because the funds are strictly for R&amp;D according to the Agreement.
To determine the appropriate accounting for the Agreement under a R&amp;D agreement, it must be established whether the entity must repay funds regardless of the outcome of the R&amp;D (ASC 730-20-25-1). The PEI is obligated to receive royalties from Pharma not only with future revenues of drug X but also royalties associated with an existing commercialized drug. Therefore, Pharma must repay funds in the form of royalties to...

Funding Jill Moran’s Retirement Annuity
Sunrise Industries wishes to accumulate funds to provide a retirement annuity for its vice president of research, Jill Moran. Ms. Moran, by contract, will retire at the end of exactly 12 years. Upon retirement, she is entitled to receive an annual end-of-year payment of $42,000 for exactly 20 years. If she dies prior to the end of the 20-year period, the annual payments will pass to her heirs. During the 12-year “accumulation period,” Sunrise wishes to the fund the annuity by making equal, annual, end-of-year deposits into an account earning 9% interest. Once the 20-year “distribution period” begins, Sunrise plans to move the accumulated monies into an account earning a guaranteed 12% per year. At the end of the distribution period, the account balance will equal zero. Not thate the first deposit will be made at the end of year 1 and that the first distribution payment will be received at the end of year 13.

...Minister Nick Clegg is urging firms to apply for the next round of business funding from the Regional Growth Fund.
The fifth round of applications to the Government's Regional Growth Fund, a scheme providing cash to help businesses grow, begins from October. The fund is specifically designed to help businesses grow outside London. Pearl & Coutts commercial property specialists routinely help small, medium and large businesses start up, relocate or expand into bigger offices to rent. They welcomed the latest round of cash injections as one more way for firms to expand.
Applications are to be formally accepted during October 2013 for this round of funding. The Government hopes that it will further boost economic growth across the UK by creating more regional jobs. Local Enterprise Councils will be able to bid for funds in partnership with businesses. Round 5 of funding will accept applications from 11th October and close on 9th December 2013. Firms are cautioned to check dates carefully for any changes and seek professional advice before applying. Minimum bids during this round are to be set at £1 million.
However, for small to medium companies looking for less, other help is still available. The Government issued an online press release in early September which included other ways to get cash help. Existing local schemes funded by the Regional Growth fund are still open in many areas, with funding available...

...In this 13th general election, the government and the opposition have promoted their manifesto which to fulfill the needs of citizens in Malaysia. For sure one of them is about the education system which they tend to optimise the system in detail to bring up the education level in this country to a better quality. So, there are some advantages of government funding the university fees for students who study subjects that are needed by society outweigh the disadvantage.
First of all, this will bring attraction to student who wanted to take the needed course. By doing this, there will be more specialist in particular field will be produced in this country. This can support the critical courses that have insufficient specialist. So, the need of society can be fulfilled besides can generate more income to boost economy.
Next, this can lessen the burden for the one in need. In result, there will be greater proportion of students who can further their study to the higher level such as degree and master. Besides that, this also can generate the new way of thinking and there will be more intellectuals among the future leader.
However, there is a disadvantage that can be seen in this case. The less relevant courses will be abandoned such as veterinary and designing course. To overcome this problem, the government has to import foreign specialist in this abandoned courses which need high cost to hire them. For instance, in zoo management they will need vet to keep...

...funds to the different schools. They continue on to say that these states use grants, foundation programs, state equalization, and state funds are all used either in their entirely or in combinations (2012). In using these formulas there is more of an equality of funds for students based on needs. It is not a perfect system but it has been a step in the right direction. The courts have played an appropriate role in education because they have open many avenues for financial support to our schools. Court decisions have made it possible for many injustices to be eradicated and laws to prevent them from hurting the education of the students.
I define appropriate funding in schools as the having the revenue to properly educate a student with considerations to his or her needs. My explanation of inappropriate funding would be moneys allocated to schools with no restrictions to how or who they are used for. That would be the end to education.
